These kinds of rides always give me the chills. I love the belly-feeling though.

What's a multielement drop tower?

Sorry, I edited the post and included what I meant by that.

(2 sit-down, 2 stand-up floorless, and 1 stand-up tilting)

im pretty sure the building at the top also features some special effects

pipesdrums · #7 01-30-2005, 01:38 AM

Yeah I forgot to mention that as well.

Matt M · #8 01-30-2005, 01:39 AM

Might have a standup side, floorless side, conventional side, tilting side, etc.

Or I'm completely wrong.

pipesdrums · #9 01-30-2005, 01:52 AM

Either way, that is going to be one kick a$$ drop...

NELLY · #10 01-30-2005, 02:49 AM

Ok its early but "Stand up floorless" is confusing me, what will you be stood on?

coasterz44 · #11 01-30-2005, 02:56 AM

Nothing, you'll probanly board bicycle like seats (like on standup coasters) and be standing on a floor permentaly attatched to the ground, or just the ground, then, as the ride lifts you to the top, viola, no more floor.

However, I'm just assuming this, but it does seem pretty logical.

It would be exactly like the 'seating' on Acrophobia @ SFOG.

Oh man It looks a little uncomfortable on a certain area of you're body!

TDMAMBA · #14 01-30-2005, 12:10 PM

I guess know we can put that B&M 4D rumor to rest now.

medieval · #15 01-30-2005, 12:21 PM

This does look cool. But the stand up does look al little uncomfterable...

hulkrider04 · #16 01-30-2005, 02:16 PM

That is going to be a sick drop ride!!!!!!!!!

HPStormRunner22 · #17 01-30-2005, 02:21 PM

Just seeing those pics of Acrophobia make me hurt. This should be an excellant ride. I think it's cool that it has special effect buildings. I wish I could get out there to ride it when its open.

Oh man are things looking up for me. Next Feb. I am going on an International Exchange to Spain for three months, and now I definately have to visit Port Aventura. I can't wait, this ride looks SICK!!

prolly like the superman tower of power in dallas, it doesnt only drop you but it goes up and down, launches, does all that crap, maybe comparable to tower of terror

pipesdrums · #20 01-30-2005, 04:55 PM

No, I am pretty sure all you do is drop on this one. The multielement part is the different seating arrangements on the different sides of the tower.

Matt M · #21 01-30-2005, 06:58 PM

The stand up floorless cars do NOT hurt from what I've heard.

Martin · #22 01-30-2005, 07:01 PM

Stand Up Floorless? Do they give you cups at the entrance?

Ta2KX · #23 01-30-2005, 07:27 PM

Sweet sweet addition, I don't believe we have an Intamin drop tower quite like that one in the U.S., do we? The name really interests me though, because I while wasp laying some RCT about a year ago I was looking for names for my coasters and I had like an Aztec or Mayan themed wood twister and I used the name Hurakan. I'm happy the name is being used in some way, futhers my belief that I have great ideas.

pipesdrums · #24 01-30-2005, 08:42 PM

There are Intamin Drop towers like that in North America...just not as big

Skye · #25 01-31-2005, 06:01 PM

This is probably one of the tallest in the world. Only the double drop in WBMWmadrid (320ft) and the double drop at knotts are close.

I might to the park this summer.......but this is the only new thing they have added in ages, DK and stampidia are good but were built ages. The park really needs some flats, its got almost nothing. The scenery is really good, lots of amazing shows, its really a family park though. WBMW is much better i think...

Depends where your going, spain is a big place. As you can see from the photos, its in the middle of nowhere....theres a train and bus but they take a while from the nearest city (train over an hour, bus 2)
